Banners for the Foundation Challenge

To support the foundation challenge, which aims to collect (in sum) 50.000 EUR donations to set up the foundation, there is a need for web banners to announce / advertise this activity. The banners will be used on both the LibreOffice web infrastructure, and the web in general.

Different to the banner on our website I'd like to see the main color green. It's a reference to our community, and most of the other websites are not as green based as ours, so it contrasts quite well, I think.

Details in other colors (blue?) could be re-used in an update of our internal banner.

The banner should contain the LibreOffice logo - I'm not quite sure if in this special case the full logo with subline "The Document Foundation" would be reasonable, even if the SC prefers external references by a logo without that line.

Christoph: I assume that the SC is fine with this use, since the reference to the funding challenge is quite clear in the banners.

I think it is important to create a /pleasant/ atmosphere around the progress-meter (which the blue will do nicely, and red, for me at least, is creating uneasiness and certainly not a positive association), not a sense of panicked-urgency even /if/ that is the case. I also think it shouldn't be contained in a conventional box/banner because people have become immune to top-banner ads, there is a greater chance they will ignore it if it looks like an advertisement.

Maybe something colorless to attract attention (I am not a designer just dare to try something)

In the mean time, people mentioned images for the donations pages would be helpful. I've created 2 "cartoon" images that might be useful (or maybe not =). It's a piggy-bank and a coin-stack, they aren't great or many, but it's all I could get done in a couple of hours =(

Hope you find a use for them somewhere (on donation webpages/banners). If they are useful I'll make more. If you do use them, make sure they are small otherwise the subtle flaws will be more visible.

Skyscraper 160x600 One more. A banner at Wide skyscraper format (160x600px). This time I only had time to make the dark version. It uses the great Nik's cartoons and some elements from the first banners. As usual, all effects are in separated layers, so it can be done so simpler than is needed. Also Spanish and German texts in respective layers.

Also I did an initial try on the banners on the size of Medium Retangle (300x250px). I think I made it simple and not very much Branding related. Hide/show the layers to get German and Spanish versions. I hope I've formated these versions correctly.
